Overview
- Spy footage and test‑mule photos published May 28–29, 2026 show the next‑generation Creta parked and driving beside the current model and visibly appearing larger.
- The car is reported to ride on Hyundai’s K3 platform and is expected to be close to 4,500 mm long, giving a longer wheelbase and roomier rear seating and boot space.
- Hyundai’s new Pleos Connect Android‑based infotainment has been spotted inside test mules and is described as part of a Software‑Defined Vehicle setup with over‑the‑air update capability.
- Mechanical changes seen in multiple sightings include a multi‑link rear suspension and a stalk‑type shift‑by‑wire drive selector while core petrol and diesel engines are expected to carry over.
- Hyundai plans a global reveal around November–December 2026 with an India launch in early 2027 and hybrid and AWD variants expected to follow after the initial launch, a rollout that could push rivals to expand their electrified options and give buyers more tech and space choices.
